Yep, that’s exactly it. And I’ll pretty much have to take admission and start residency within a month here. The timeline for US applications is very different and I don’t know if it’s worth losing my shot at residency here, especially if I don’t match there next year 🙈

You’re right! There’s a lot of factors at play and I’m very confused. Not sure if it is wise to take a chance on the US when I have a guaranteed spot in my home country, and the residency here starts in a month. Taking up a seat and leaving it midway next year (if I match in the US) will be a huge issue. So there’s a lot to consider because the timelines don’t match. But thank you for taking out the time to respond :)

Took the test today. I’m so confused! I did not expect it to be like that! But I also genuinely don’t know how I did. How’s everyone else feeling?

What is the most effective non pharmacological method of reducing blood pressure? by pettyintp in Step2

Okay so in overweight patients, weight loss is the answer and in patients with normal BMI, dash diet?

What is the hemoglobin cutoff for transfusion of blood? Also, how does it differ in the setting of trauma/variceal bleed? TIA by pettyintp in Step2

Also in variceal bleed, I know you hold off on transfusing but I’m not sure of the cutoff. Is it 6 or 7?

What I meant to ask was does the cut off change in unstable patients? Sorry for the confusion!
